I have great body with strong muscles in the arms and on chest. But my legs and butt are very thin. My girlfriend says I don't look sexy due to that. How do I build up muscles and flesh on my legs and butt?

WEIGHT BEARING EXERCISES. Let me say that again - weight bearing exercises. That is the best way to do it.

You *don't* have to get a gym membership, you can use your own bodyweight (and some dumbells) to work out your legs. Search the internet for bodyweight leg exercises. There are variations of squats, lunges, deadlifts and butt exercises out there. You'll find videos on this as well! It won't be something you have to do every day… you can likely get a very good leg workout in in 20-30 minutes, three times a week.

Other than that, you should eat more protein to help build the muscle - lean meats (skinless chicken, turkey, tuna, lean beef) are best, low or non-fat milk or cottage cheese with some fruit in it can help as well.

i have been bodybuilding for a year now,although ihave gained alotta muscle and weight …i want to know how much protein,carbohydrates and fat shud be taken in a day to keep a good balance and gain weight?

If you want to be serious about your weight and bodybuilding you will hold true to one thing… and that is counting calories. The only way you are going to know how much you need to maintain a weight is by knowing your base metabolic rate.

For me I have to eat approx 3,200 calories a day to maintain my weight. When I am bulking I usually add 500 calories. So I will be eating 3,700 calories until I stop gaining, then I'll add another 500 calories.

These calories for me are largely protein and carb contributers. However, I am not into the whole idea of cramming down carbs to put on weight cause all that does is add bodyfat.. not muscle.

Generally the rule of thumb is 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. I would assume if you are taking in 200-300 g of protein, then when bulking you should take in about 450-600 g of complex carbs(pastas, rice, whole wheat, fruits).

When it comes to fat make certain one thing is right.. You are taking in the polyunsaturated and monosaturated(sorry for spelling) fats. These are the healthy fats. I usually try to keep them at about 60-80 g a day when bulking.

Oh and one more thing. The main misconception people have is when trying to lose weight they think they have to cut out all fat from a diet. Fats are essential to bodybuilding and maintaining energy. People have to realize they must also cut their carbs down, increase water intake, and increase protein.

Hope that helped you out. Good luck.

Can you recommend a high-protein diet plan for bodybuilding that doesn't break the wallet so bad?

A bodybuilding diet plan does not need to be high in protein. In fact, it shouldn't be that high in protein. Your body does not store protein as readily as it does carbohydrates (as glycogen). There is no mechanism for storing protein in the body. A bit of it can be stored as glycogen or fat, but once it is broken down into either or, it cannot be put back together because the amine group is separated and excreted in the urine as urea. In other words, an excess of protein will put a large strain on your kidneys. Studies have shown that you don't need that much protein. In fact, 1.7-1.8 grams per kilogram of bodyweight is all you need. All those ads you see in magazines and what not about how you need this much protein is false; they're just trying to sell their product. If you want to gain size then simply increase your calories. Do not worry about protein because chances are you're getting more than enough.

I'm a skinny guy with chicken legs, but I build muscle quite easily. Lately, I haven't had any access to weights or a gym. I was wondering if there's another alternative to building my legs like: dance, sports, calisthenics, etc. I also have heard that doing such things, other than using weights, can help much more for building legs. Can anyone add their two cents, please?

Weights really help a lot for legs. Bodyweight upper body exercises are pretty decent (pullups for back/biceps, pushups for chest/tris, handstand pushups for shoulders) because body weight is a fair bit for your upper body, but its not a lot of weight for your lower body. Nothing will be as good as weights.

My best suggestion would be to focus on one leg at a time. Lunges and one-legged squats.

You could make some weights too. A couple of large containers full of water are pretty heavy.
